“Really great of the creator not to disclose the portraits are AI generated until you reach the credits. The worst part is, with the style of the portraits in the game you easily could have used royalty-free photos or taken your own but…”
“Who's Lila is marketed as unique mystery adventure but my experience was wandering back & forth between the same five rooms looking for the way to leave for half an hour”
